David does a very good job with this piece of writing. While not the best PA novel I have read so far, it would rank in the top 3 on my list. Purchased my Kindle copy a few weeks ago from Amazon. Well worth the $7.99 price tag.

There are a lot of character's in this novel but not too many that you have to try and remember who is who and where they fit in. The editing was pretty good as there were some typos scattered throughout but I would imagine that since this book was so readily available in the PDF format that David probably got a lot of help from some of his readers in that sense. There are some books that I have read on Amazon's Kindle that are Free and most of the authors are more than happy to get feedback from their readers regarding typos.

I would have to say that all in all the author does a very good job of creating a story that is not too far fetched from realization after a disaster such as an EMP burst.

Before even finishing this book I found myself looking forward to his next book. Also would like to say Thanks to David and all those here that got this book the recognition that it so rightly deserves.

Does anyone have any suggestions for any other books to get for my "Survivalist" library?/quote]

Don't be fooled by the number of pages. I found it to be quick read, partly because I couldn't put it down, but also due to the way it is written.

As to your library, the list could be extensive. I like good fiction, but for prepping, there are so many good reference books out there on a variety of subjects. There is a good "Book List" tab on TSP web page and it is a great place to start.

I got my book just a few night ago after listening to the podcast, I'm over halfway through a huge book...very easy to read and follow and hard to put down. I can't stand reading books online or on a computer screen I prefer to feel the book and the essence that they are...glad to find it in book form and I plan on passing it on to my friends who just don't understand "what I'm doing storing all that food"

I bought the Kindle edition of the book after hearing about it on the podcast (despite the fact that I also have the PDF version on one of my computers somewhere). I couldn't stop reading it and thought it was an incredible read. I have since purchased two printed editions and have given them to friends to read. It was well worth the investment and leaves me wanting more.

I'm probably one of the few people who were not aware this book existed until after hearing about it on Jack's podcast. I placed my order last week and received it yesterday. I sat down around 8:30 last night after putting the kids to bed and started reading, next time I looked at the clock it was 2am! Talk about being pulled into a story! I may have to put the kids to bed right after supper tonight so I can have more time to read. Sherri

I have been a fan of this book for quite a while and have probably read it 6-8 times over the years. I ordered the book primarily so I could share it with others who don't like reading the PDF and I am very interested in getting the audio version (probably the only way I'll get my wife to experience it).

Does anyone know if the audio book is available or when it is expected to be?

Well, I am probably the last active member of this forum to begin reading this book.

I'm on Chapter 10 and I have to say, so far, it seems much more realistic than other books I have read in the same category. Although, I really enjoyed Patriots and Survivors. I didn't have the same issues with characters popping in and out as some others did.
